- P.O.P: Pleasure Over Performance | The Road to Sexual Healing + A Coronavirus Check-In
Does it feel good? That's the question we're answering today. For many us, we've been taught that we can only express our sexuality in a very limited way. Today we talk about why sexual exploration and curiosity is important when it comes to achieving the most pleasure possible. We discuss that exploring your sexuality does NOT diminish your masculinity or manhood. Tune in now!

1 hr 12 min - The State of Black Masculinity Pt. 1
Watch this episode on the Let's Talk Bruh YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nzkzJ8oFTg
Some say everyone gets to define Black masculinity except for Black men, so today we ask a few friends of Let's Talk Bruh their definitions of Black masculinity, their personal relationship with masculinity from childhood to adulthood, and the current state of Black masculinity as its presented in pop culture, media, and current events.
We also discuss what accountability looks like among Black men and the future of Black masculinity. As many of us come to grasp a more fluid understanding of gender norms and identity, will we even be having conversations like this in 10, 20, or 50 years?

1 hr 45 min - Acting While Black with Tom Williamson of The Fosters & VFW
When it comes to Black tv & film, there's often a conversation of who is allowed to tell what stories. Can Black folks from the UK tell stories about Black americans? Can Black folks with privilege tell stories about folks growing up in the hood? Can straight folks tell stories about queer Black folks?
This week I talked to actor, founder of Rise and Thrive, and performance based transformation coach Tom Williamson. You may know Tom from The Fosters, VFW, Running Wild and All Cheerleaders Must Die. We talked about his life growing up in DC, becoming an actor, and his experience at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. We talk about about Tom's experience navigating some of these issues as an actor and what it's like to prepare for a role that you personally don't identify with on the surface.
Tune in now!

So today, joined by friend of the podcast, Larry J. Sanders of What Suits Him, we dive all the way in and tackle all things rejection and even how rejection highlights our insecurities.
